Lasting Connections’. Through this initiative, Zain reaffirms its dedication to standing by the community and introducing tangible measures that respond to evolving circumstances and address customers’ real needs, driven by its belief that connectivity has become an essential part of everyday life in all its forms.
Since the beginning of the current crisis, Zain has worked to strengthen national coordination efforts with the relevant government entities, foremost among them the Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA), to ensure the alignment of emergency plans with the national readiness framework, enhance network preparedness, and activate teams around the clock to safeguard service stability and efficiency under all circumstances. The company’s technical and administrative teams are fully prepared to deal with various scenarios through a flexible operating model based on multiple routes and technical alternatives, while continuously updating internal response plans in line with developments and maintaining the highest levels of communication and coordination with the relevant authorities.

The company views its responsibility during this phase through a comprehensive national lens, based on its commitment to placing all of its technical and human capabilities at the service of Kuwait and working in full harmony with the relevant entities to ensure integrated efforts, swift response, and effective execution. As part of its proactive measures during the current crisis, Zain has activated remote work for most of its employees in a way that ensures their safety and the continuity of its operational and administrative functions with high efficiency.
The company has also provided psychological support services through free counseling and therapy sessions in collaboration with Kuwait Counseling Center (KCC). Zain has also offered free roaming internet, local and international calls, and SMS benefits to its customers outside Kuwait through Thursday, helping them stay connected with their loved ones during this period and enabling them to remain in touch with their families and follow developments with ease and peace of mind.
